Funds Are Far From Assured in Clinton Education Push
The AP reports that while President Clinton seeks expanded education aid from kindergarten to adults retraining, Congress led by Republicans is unlikely to provide full funding. Both sides advocate middle class tax credits for families with children, with Clinton proposing a $500 per child credit under 13 and GOP plans extending credits under 18. The GOP tax cut exceeds Clinton’s by about $205 billion over five years, forcing deeper cuts to balance the deficit and likely trimming education programs such as Head Start.

Clinton budget seeks tax cuts aiding middle class and students
President Clinton's 1996 budget includes tax breaks aimed at the middle class and college funding. It would add 1 billion in grants and loans and provide a 10 thousand tuition deduction, targeting households earning 100 thousand or less, while Pell grants rise by 12 percent to 2620 dollars. Experts and recipients welcome aid but Republicans critique price and principles.
